So once again tonight we were treated to an “Instant Elimination” of a contestant through what amounted to a roll of the dice. Kirsten was selected to make this decision through luck of the draw, then she had to select which three would be able to be eliminated and finally had to choose among them which made the most sense to send home.

This, to me, is not what The Biggest Loser is supposed to be about. This sort of thing belongs on shows like Big Brother, where the whole thing is just a game and nobody’s future is riding on the success or failure of their time in the house.

The show is supposed to be about a bunch of regular folks trying to get their lives and their bodies back into shape and come out the other end a healthier, happier person. To unceremoniously dump someone for the sake of adding drama to the show is unnecessary. The show already has enough inbuilt drama with injuries, health scares, challenges, temptations and the regular eliminations.

And more importantly, I thought the public had spoken on the matter of “Instant Eliminations” last season – we don’t like them.

Was I wrong?

Tonight the Black Team faces their first weigh in and the Whites face their first Temptation.
And one of them will walk away with immunity!

Well, it hasn’t taken long and we’re already off and racing on the forum conspiracies front.

The funniest one so far has been the suggestion that there weren’t really 30 people in the running on the first day at all, it was some lesser number walking up the driveway and being picked over by Michelle and Shannan.

Just to lay this one to bed, I’m posting a couple more images to go along with the earlier one confirming 30 Fatties. You can find them after the break.
